There’s Power in the Pause

"You don’t have to squeeze meaning out of everything."

Not every moment is a message.

Not every emotion needs a lesson.
Not every pause is a problem.

Sometimes things feel flat.
Neutral.
Weird.
Unclear.

You don’t have to decode it.
You don’t have to shift it.
You don’t have to “do” anything with it.

You’re not missing out on a message or meaning.
You’ve just trained your mind to listen to the noise—
or even make noise when there’s supposed to be silence.

Let it be quiet.
Let it be still.

You’re allowed to be in the in-between.
And when you embrace it—
it becomes a crossroads,
where the dust settles and you can see every direction…
and know which one’s truly yours.

In that moment of quiet space—just be.
Not reaching forward.
Not reviewing back.
Just presence.
Notice what’s here.
What you see.
What you hear.
What you feel in your body.
That’s it.

Let now be enough.
